Mac user having problems when export lip sync .mov file

thisisraco

Hi everyone!
Sorry if this has been asked already, tried to look through all the threads carefully, but might have missed,
I work on a mac and followed a couple of lip sync tutorials with daz3d 3, which totally worked for the animation i needed (just victoria saying one sentence)
but once i render it, it won't play on any of my players: quicktime latest version, quicktime 7, vlc, even tried windows media for mac as the tutorial was on a pc.
Anyone had had this problem and knows what to do?
Any help will be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks!

Try rendering to an image sequence, then turn the image sequence into an animation - that's generally much more reliable, as well as more flexible.

Thanks! then i should use an editing program to add the audio afterwards?
Is there a more direct way maybe?
Also since it seemed to work on the pc tutorial, is it a problem of me using a mac or the codec used by daz, is there anything i could tweek?
thanks again!

Rendering to AVI or QT is always risky, doesn't save an alpha channel and makes it hard to correct errors or glitches - I don't know if you are hitting a bug or if it's something to do with your settings but I always advise using an image sequence anyway.
